Rockmart Slate: A few days since our
attention was called TO compact forma-
ton OF dirt found in we'll on Mr., James
LOYelace's premises. In appearance IT
resembles pure white chalk, is perfectly
free from grit, and susceptible of reduc-
ton into powdered form in common
| corn mill. 1t has been ground and used
in painting several houses in town with
admirable effect. 1t may be valuable
substance Astounding in this locality.
This circumstance proves that we are
greattyin need OF geological and min
vralOAcal and chemical bureau in this
section to test and develop the vast
resources OF wealth buried in the bowels
Of Polk cOuuty's earth, and especially

expenditure to each would be
mere trih4 compared with thej general

Athens Banner Waterman: A good
one IL told at the expense of the chancel-
l0r of the university. A student from
Ebert COUNTY, we think, joined the
Knights Of LABOR, aud developed into
quite an orator at their meetings. Dur
ing the heated election for city officers
last winter, the student came 10 DR.. Nell
and stated that he was a poor boy, with
out means, and needed every cent he
could get to pay his expenses at college.
He then went on 10 tell the doctor
that il he would give him leave of
absence for thirty days be could make
500, and the money would be great
help. The chancellor, with his kind
heart, told the young man that he would
certainly excuse him, tor he sympathi1ed
with students who were thus struggling
to get an education. The student left
college and was gone the thirty daye. On
his return DR.. Nell made inquiries as to

man had sold his influence as knight

negro and a jug OF mean whisky. making

On the plantation OF Colonel George w.

colored people named respectively Will

| No sooner had the mother disappeared
than Lizzie found Ehat she had her hands

| young offenders. When the mother re-
turned, anu Lizzie had gone of to her
home, the story was laid before ner, duly
embellished. Sukie flew into a frightiul
rage and vowed vengeance. She got
the hoe, and making one of the children
turn the grindst0ne while she sharp

tive work. She proceeded straight
way to the Poole home, and called
the unsuspecting girl out. AS soon as
